A: I actually went into the dental field after getting my wisdom teeth out. The team made my experience so amazing that I instantly knew I wanted to help others in the same way. I originally started out as a dental assistant and thought that would be my future career. However, I began helping patients with treatment plans and finances and fell in love with it! So, I guess you could say I naturally fell into the role of treatment plan coordinator.

Q: What’s your favorite part about your job?

A: Working as a team to give our patients the best customer care. We get to meet amazing people every day and build relationships with them. Not every career path allows you this opportunity. It’s the people I work with and our patients that truly make every day fun and interesting. There is never a dull moment around here!

Q: On to the personal stuff, what is a hidden talent or fun fact that people wouldn’t expect about you?

A: I really love to play Xbox. My favorite games are Need for Speed, Left4Dead, Halo and Call of Duty. My fiancé and I love having a good game night together!

Q: What’s your favorite vacation spot and why?

A: There seems to be a trend within our office, but I also have to say Hawaii. My family has a place there, so it feels like a second home. Nothing can replace relaxing on a beautiful island, experiencing a different lifestyle, and spending time with the friends I’ve made there.

Q: Do you have a favorite book or TV series you’re enjoying right now?

A: I don’t think I can pick one favorite book, but I’m always up for a good romance novel. I’m currently watching Hart of Dixie on Netflix, which I’m enjoying.

Q: What are your favorite hobbies outside of the office?

A: My fiancé and I recently started getting into snowmobiling, which has been a blast! Other than that, I simply love being around great people and enjoying a good adventure together.

Q: What’s the one thing you wish patients knew about you?

A: That I’m awesome! Just kidding…J I’d love for patients to know that I commute all the way from Cle Elum every day just so that I can work with amazing people. I guess it’s safe to say that I really love my job!
